Umpires For last 2 ODI's

[Pak_Attack]

Does anyone know if the human version of 'Hawkeye' Simon Taufel will be umpiring the last 2 ODI's?

seriously i like this umpire Simon Taufel.....always look cool and calm.i must say,he looks pretty much like un-australian.we need 10 simon taufels for cricket.at the end of the series, i hope both team praise him for the way he handled the match,especially after the shoaib beamer to dhoni and politely warned shoaib,knowing his temper and mood.

Aleem Dar is umpiring which is great. He had a poor series in Aus but he isn't an incompetent fool like Rauf

thats ashame, taufel is head and shoulders above the rest of the guys, really is something special when it comes to umpiring.

I didn't watch all of the last two finals between Australia and Srilanka ... but whatever i saw from Aleem Dar was very decent .... he is the next best thing to Simon Taufel in the umpiring world right now

Taufel's umpiring on this tour was indeed superb.

Not only was his decision making excellent, but he seems to know to handle the players, with his calm measured manner.

I think the players have a lot of respect for his umpiring too.

Dar umpired splendidly in the Ashes, not being pushed over by Warne, and got all but one of two decsicions right in two matches, in lots of pressure.

Taufel has a very good rapport with the players. They respect him and he in turn respects them. No dramatics, no "headmaster" tactics, just does what he is paid to do and does it very well.

One can sense that the players accept his decisions without too many queries.
